The VR Beta for EA Sports WRC now available

In recent months I’ve taken to driving in VR like a duck to water, sometimes in the most unadvisable ways such as throwing cars and trucks at high speeds into dodgey corners. There must be something wrong with me that when I first…

EA Sports WRC (PC) Review

Control, finesse, and focus. These are three things I do not have, especially at 9 PM on a Tuesday or 4 AM on a Wednesday. After last year’s WRC Generations, a new development team and a new publishing team bring EA Sports…

UFC 5 (Xbox Series X) Review

I’ve been playing the FIFA games since Moses was a young lad. Back when I was first playing, there wasn’t such a thing as female players, and Sepp Blatter was only settling into his job of corruption. I’m joking, of course, though…

NHL 21 (PS4) Review

As someone who grew up logging countless hours with the likes of NHL 99, NHL 2000, and the NHL Hitz series, my fundamental understanding of the sport and how it’s a natural transition into a video game format is deep. I’ve taken a break from…

Do 2021 Sports Games Make Sense?

Another year, another sports game. Except, most of the time, nothing big changes except the team rosters and maybe another game mode or two. This has been the case for the majority of the 2010s and it looks to be that way…
